The Dandy-Walker syndrome.
Ten cases of the Dandy-Walker syndrome are presented. The clinical manifestations are analyzed. Almost 80 percent of these children had associated anomalies. The characteristic findings are based on the magnetic resonance image scan. Satisfactory treatment of our patients had mostly consisted in shunting the lateral ventricular system to the peritoneum. The incidence of the complications was high.
